The Casio WSD-F20 is water resistant up to 50 metres. It has a pressure sensor for measuring air pressure and altitude, apart from a compass, accelerometer, and a gyrometer.

The watch is compatible with Androidsmartphones that run Android 4.3 or later and iOS 9 or later. If you have a Casio WSD-F10, the good news is that it will be upgradeable to Android Wear 2.0 this year.
